Brooklyn Revival (completed)

Chapter 63- Shopping and Spa

The two men walked around hand in hand as they looked through shops. Alec was trying to convince Magnus to buy some colourful clothes, even after all this time, he was still unsure of what he could wear when it came to colour.

"Magnus, it's an emerald green sweater. It looks amazing on you. Would you please get it?" Alec asked him.

"I don't know. Does it... Will it look okay?" Magnus said unsure as he held it up.

"You will look great!" Alec exclaimed, taking the sweater from Magnus and putting it into the basket. "I'm adding the yellow one too"

"Really? You really like the yellow one?" Magnus asked as he looked at it again.

"Yes," Alec said as he rolled his eyes. "You're a nightmare to shop with"

"I can't help it" Magnus pouted.

"I know but still" Alec snorted and kissed Magnus's pout before going around and tossing in more and more clothes.

"You really like to shop don't you" Magnus chuckled when he saw the sparkle in Alec's eye as he looked around at the clothes

"I do. I love it. Plus we don't get clothes like this in the states really" Alec smiled and added more.

"How are you going to pay for all this?" Magnus smirked as he crossed his arms in front of him.

"You put money into my account remember?" Alec replied and winked as Magnus pouted again. He had forgotten about the money he added to Alec's bank.

"Fair enough" He smiled and kissed his cheek before looking over at the shoes.

He looked at a pair of slightly heeled boots. They were plain black with zips at the side. He liked them but he was unsure if he could pull them off as he looked over them with uncertainty. Alec came over to join him and smiled.

"Do you like them?" Alec asked him.

"I do but I don't know if they are my style," Magnus said as he picked one of them up and looked it over in his hands.

"Try them on" Alec suggested as he led him over to the stool and took the other boot with them.

Magnus sighed and nodded. He went with Alec and sat down on the stool before he took off his shoes and slipped the boots on. Magnus looked down and smiled as he put the other one on and stood up.

"What do you think?" Magnus asked as he started to walk around the aisle in front of Alec so he could see them. Also to check if they were comfortable for him.

"You look amazing, and they will go nicely with your new sweaters" Alec smiled.

"I... I'm going to get them," Magnus said as he sat back down and took them off. He added them to the basket before he put his own shoes back on.

"Finally he chooses something" Alec snorted as he continued to look around when Magnus caught up with him.

"I can't help it. I'm not good at shopping or picking out clothes. I'm not used to it" Magnus said as he looked around with Alec but nothing caught his eye now.

"I know baby. I'm only teasing" Alec said and kissed him softly. "Shall we pay? Then go and get a pamper?"

"Yes please," Magnus smiled and kissed him again.

The two men headed to the counter and after a little argument over who was going to pay, Alec finally won and his debit card was taken. Magnus rolled his eyes at the triumphant look that Alec gave him over winning. They headed out with their bags of stuff and decided to stop off at the cabin first to drop their bags off before they headed to the spa.

They checked in and were led to a locker room to change into their robes before they were taken to the mud baths. The two of them took off their robes and headed into the mud bath. They cuddled into each other as they sunk into the mud and sighed in content.

"This is nice" Alec commented as he closed his eyes.

"It is, isn't it?" Magnus replied as he added the cucumber slices to Alec's eyes before he put them over his eyes too.

The two of them laid there in silence. Soft calm music played out over the invisible speakers and the low lights helped to set the calm mood. It felt like they had only been in there 5 minutes when the women came over and tapped their shoulders.

"Sorry to bother you but it's been 35 minutes. Would you like to reschedule your facial appointment?" She asked them.

"Oh. Oh sorry, we didn't realise. No, we are coming now. Thank you" Magnus smiled at her as he took his cucumber off and stood up.

"Okay, I'll make sure everything is ready. Showers are just through that door" The women said and left their pair alone.

"Alexander, come on," Magnus said and tapped his shoulder but was met with a groan. "Alec. Now"

"Fine" He grumbled and took off the cucumber before standing up as well and followed Magnus.

They had to sit and wait for a little bit before being able to wash the mud off due to them needing the minerals to soak into their skin. They were soon showered and headed into the room for their facials. Alec had allowed Magnus a facial but was still on a stern no to massage which Magnus accepted as they laid down and let the women do what they had to do.

It was around an hour later and the two of them had had a facial as well as being convinced to have a manicure and a pedicure. They wiggled their toes and grinned at each other happily unable to believe how relaxed they felt.

"This has been an amazing day" Magnus smiled and stroked his hand.

"It's been lovely" Alec agreed and leaned closer to kiss Magnus softly.

"Why don't we go home... and... curl up by the fire and see what else happens?" Magnus smirked.

"Yes. Yes. Let's go" Alec chuckled and stood up.

Magnus laughed at that and stood up too. The two men headed back to the locker and changed before they took a taxi back to their cabin. Both had huge smiles on their face and couldn't believe how happy they were at that moment together as they cuddled up in front of the fire with a blanket over them.
